closure to michaela garecht's family, that's what they want to do. her case is now 24 years old. it was back in 1988 when she was kidnapped in front of a hayward grocery store. while police say this is one of many leads they've chased over the years, they will do what it takes to find out if this bone belongs to michaele lay. -- michaela. >> hopefully the dna will give us closure on whether it is or isn't. >> reporter: now, the bone was found in a well in linden back in february. it was given to the mother of joanne hobson who meant missing back in 1985. however, hobson's mother was not happy with the san joaquin sheriff's department's handling of thevation. so she went all of the evidence to chico state. not all of the bones were that of hobson.

one bone belonged to a child between the ages of 5 and 15. that's when hayward pd was contacted and the bones were given to them. >> we've since contacted the lab and had that bone delivered to the lab for dna analysis. it's been transferred from the first lab to a second lab for a higher level of testing. >> reporter: as we wait for the results of that testing this morning, there's criticism used. in a blog she write, she wrote, somewhere in this blog i want to be there if she's found. if all that was left of her was skeletal remains, i wanted to wrap my arms around those little bones and hold my daughter. but no, in this case, there is a single piece of bone, 3 inches long. so we know the bone is in a lab

in virginia. hayward pd says they are working with them right now. we also know that hayward pd says if the results come back as michaela, they would like to go back to linden, possibly, maybe. we'll talk about looking for more remains and they would like to talk to wesley shermantine, one of the convicted speed freak killers. an earthquake hit off the coast of san francisco. it was a 2.2. it struck at 7:01 this morring. it was centered six miles west of the san francisco zoo and ten miles west of city hall. the earthquake was less than two and a half miles deep. there are no reports of any damage. it is 8:02. there's developing news from the middle east. a suspected al qaeda terrorist has killed a long-time worker at the u.s. ambassador in

whistle at a game. >> oh, no! >> following last week's game between the chargers and the junior 49ers, a fight erupted between the coaches of both teams. police say it began with trash- talking. the coach crossed the -- crossed the field and hit the other coach. a woman who shot this video, is disappointed by what happened. >> we're not in the best neighbor. a lot of the kids here may not have both parents. they are looking at the coaches to be their male role models. >> after that, the rest of the game was canceled. coming round and the oakland as will live another day. >> in oakland, the as recorded their 15th and most important

there. vasco road not a good way to go. stick to the main roads, the main freeways. let's go to steve. all right, sal. sunshine. a lot of fog. kind of thick fog. and most of the high clouds have thinned out but there is a lot up in the sierra nevada. some of that may come back. what we are looking at is a lot of the cloud cover. and that turned into the sierra and the mother lode. that -- that's right there. it's a lot coming up. and the flow around low pressure could easily drag this back to us. we'd be hard-pressed to beat gilroy which had a lot of hail and .75 of rain. prunedale picked up hail reports as well. here comes the cloud cover.

now, again, i think it will favor more toward the east or south bay. there is a westerly breeze in place. so even with sunny skies, the temperatures will be in the 70s. things are just blowing up from las vegas all the way up to tahoe and truckee. i know it's over the sierra. but the same thing has happened since last night. still, though, one more day and then that low gets for enough out of the -- far enough out of the picture. cool, breezy pattern. forecasted highs today. tomorrow, maybe even -- maybe even saturday are going to stay cool. there is another system to the west that will move on on saturday. that breeze which is out of the west. temperatures will be in the 60s. if you are headed to the as game. once you are inside, everything will be fine. kind of a cool pattern into saturday and then it looks like

next week we could get back to warm you, maybe even hot -- warm, maybe even hot. we talked about the hail measuring up to 2 inches deep. that was yesterday around 4:00, 5:00. if you have the photos you can send them to us from that wild weather yesterday and even if we get some today. one viewer said it hailed for 20 minutes straight. so if you have photos, send them to us or post them on our facebook wall. if you see a lot of smoke along highway 1 in marin county later this morning, don't worry. it's probably a controlled but. the national parks service is scheduled. the fire will be set 7 miles south of alima. and the burn is set to begin

debates to prepare for this moment. he says the goal is to emphasize the clear differences between the romney and obama campaigns. joe biden is looking to ramp up momentum after the president's poor performance last week caused the obama ticket to drop in the polls. >> what i've been doing mostly is, quite frankly, studying up on congressman ryan's position on the issues. >> i know how he will come and attack us. the problem he is -- he -- he has barack obama's record he has to run on. >> reporter: tonight edebate will run for 90 minutes and cover foreign and domestic issues. >> you can watch the debate right here on ktvu channel 2 tonight beginning at 6:00. ktvu news will follow immediately after wards. we're also providing live streaming coverage on our website at ktvu.com. snootses -- dozens of people gathered in concord to show support for proposition 30.

back in 2010 when the giants clinched at at&t park, latos was a member of the padres. giants beat them that day and then latos spent the whole day signing autographs, i hate sf. so he has a lot more opportunity to hate sf if the giants do it today. we're reporting live from cincinnati, ohio, joe fonzi, husband. back fonzi -- joe fonzi, ktvu channel 2 news. back to you. >> thank you, joe. san francisco police are lacking for a serial arson -- looking for a serial arsonist. matt keller is live where neighbors are concerned the next fire could hurt or kill someone. >> reporter: i just spoke with the two brothers who say they are the ones who put out the fire last night. it was the alleyway here and

overall, 60s, not much change friday through saturday. the thunderstorms will move south and it will be fog and low clouds. after that, it will be very warm. there are signs of that. >> refully. >> yes. >> i'm sorry -- refully. >> yes. >> i'm sorry -- >> really? >> yes. >> i'm sorry. i'm surprised by that. and that's our report. thank you for trusting ktvu news. >> be sure to join us for the news at noon. we'll have an update on the giants' game. and the as coming up tonight. we're always here for you at ktvu.com and ktvu mobile. thank you for joining us. ank'sd makes it easy for anne to manage her finances when she's on the go. even when she's not going anywhere. ipad. easier banking. standard at citibank.
